One day you’re in the mindset of “I can do this! I am killing this creative thing! My mind is overflowing with ideas!”

And then the next day (or even 15 minutes later) you’ve done a 180 and find yourself in the mindset of “Hmmm, what blog post should I write today? Does anyone besides my mom even care? Am I just wasting my time?

The struggle is real.

And a lot of times, that struggle is really hard to push past. Like harder than getting out of bed early on Monday morning.

Sometimes I stare at a blank screen for what seems like hours.

Waiting for inspiration, waiting for that cartoon light bulb to pop up above my head. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t.

And if it doesn’t, you need to have a plan B. And for me, that plan B is looking to others.

Accept that sometimes you need to go outside yourself to find creativity.

When you are struggling to find inspiration within, it’s totally okay to look outside to find that spark that gets you going.

Know that everyone struggles with being creative at times.

You are not alone in your creative block!

No creative is ever 100% on top of their game.

That’s a major part of who creatives are — they are following the ebbs and flows of creativity.
